Flysurfer

At Flysurfer, every day is a kite day. The kites made by Flysurfer show that Germans can engineer more than just perfect cars. The passion Flysurfer products are made with allow riders to share their experiences and love for their sport. No matter where you kite, what style you use, how old you are, what conditions you're in, Flysurfer knows that once you get introduced to the sport, kiting will positively infect you.

The Viron kite is Flysurfer's introduction kite that is perfect to infect new kite boarders that maximizes safety, simplicity, ease of use and effortless relaunch. The Unity kite will provide mind blowing jumps in an unforgettable free ride session with a fast learning curve that earns it title by successfully replacing the Pulse2. The Flysurfer Psycho4 was designed for to be a freestyle machine as well with its Triple Depower System. Looking for a land and snowkite? The Outlaw is Flysurfer's offering that is the first high-depower land AND snow kite for boarders that proves that high-depower and open-cell kites can happily mingle. The Speed3 is the "ultimate flying machine", able to let boarders race, freestyle and cruise in all wind conditions.

With the Flysurfer Viron2 Deluxe, Flysurfer Kiteboarding gives you the simplest introduction to the world of kiting. The easy-to-use VIRON2 DLX is an incomparable all-in-one kite that ensures maximum safety and stability – plus it has the easiest water relaunch you’ll ever experience. Here at Flysurfer your safety is our top priority – which is why our experienced Research and Development team have spent hundreds of hours creating a kite that’s safe, secure and stunning.

Auto-Relaunch

When it comes to water relaunch, the VIRON2 DLX continues to be the benchmark against which other kites are measured. Its unique, super-effective auto-relaunch incorporates a bridle that’s virtually impossible to tangle on the water. Even in low winds, simply let go of the control bar and the VIRON2 DLX will skim automatically across the water, remaining parked and ready at the edge of the window. Then, with just a simple steering input, the VIRON2 DLX flies on.

Versatility

The VIRON2 DLX rounds off the Flysurfer product portfolio. It’s the storm kite for accomplished riders – but it’s also the kite that kite schools have been wishfully waiting for. This is a kite that makes it possible for children to get started in the sport, as well as being the solution for riders keen to challenge strong winds on the water. The VIRON2 DLX is equally at home on water, land and snow. All VIRON2 DLX sizes are exclusively made in deluxe kite-cloth, which has a noticeable effect on a kite’s performance – deluxe kites fly in less wind, turn tighter and are more stable.

Flysurfer Viron2 Deluxe Features

Triple Depower System

There are three ways the VIRON2 DLX achieves maximum depower:1. Reducing the angle of attack2. Profile change3. Reducing the projected area.These 3 key elements mean the VIRON2 DLX lends its skills to a huge wind range and ideal handling.

Increased Durability

The VIRON2 DLX went through long-term testing to ensure our high expectations of quality. We used the feedback this generated and reinforced all parts to make the product even more durable.

Improved Performance

Developer Armin Harich has reworked the airfoil and construction on the kite, which has improved the overall flying performance. Now the VIRON2 DLX is even easier to control in strong, gusty winds.

Deep Y-bridle

Because of the optimised bridle, the VIRON2 DLX is more efficient and stands flatter, generating more power, speed and up-wind performance.

Optional Short Lines

The VIRON2 DLX gives users the option to disconnect the bottom 7m of the flying line-set to create new and safer opportunities for teaching and flying in stronger winds.

Infinity Light Control Bar

The VIRON2 DLX 6.0 comes with the Infinity Light control bar, which allows automatic untwisting of the front lines as well as friction-free steering. The Infinity Light Bar is also now equipped with a light and slim clam-cleat.

Auto-Relaunch

The VIRON2 DLX has the easiest kite relaunch you’ll ever experience. It doesn’t matter if you’re on land, water or snow, with a simple steering impulse, the VIRON2 DLX flies on.

Reefline Safety System

The unique, patented and now even more robust Reefline Safety (which is similar to a 5th-line safety) of the VIRON2 DLX ensures maximum security and easy relaunches for everyone. After activating the Infinity quick release, the kite lands safely and easily without any rest-pull. It can be relaunched any time, even by beginners.

Automatic Drainage System

Should sand or water get into the kite, it will automatically be expelled from the kite by the „dirt&water“ drainage system, which is integrated into the canopy of the VIRON2 DLX.

Without exaggeration the Flysurfer Speed4 Lotus is the best performing kite that we have ever built. Whether in low end, turningspeed, relaunch, jumping characteristics or depower & hellip; Almost everywhere we have been able to set new limits. Yet it's performance is more accessible than ever for every rider. It starts when you pull up the Speed4: The kite inflates incredibly fast and provides security from the first moment onwards. Whether fully powered up or fully depowered, a Speed4 stays stable in the sky. And thanks to the balanced handling not only your jumps are much easier, but also their landings.

Flysurfer Speed4 Lotus Features

Unbelievable low-end

The Speed4 Lotus reduces the minimum wind requirements considerably. Especially in combination with high-performance kite race boards and hydrofoils this advantages is very noticeable.

Maximum performance

The optimized and smoother profiles of the top and bottom sails as well as the reduced line drag effect, have a noticeable effect on the total performance of the wing. Thanks to these new technologies, a significant increase in performance has been achieved on the Speed4 Lotus.

Lotus cloth

Thanks to our new Lotus cloth water and dirt is repelled from the kite in an unprecedented fashion. The air tightness of this new cloth is second to none. The fabric is very sleek and makes for an extremely smooth top and bottom sail. The Lotus cloth material is 25 percent lighter than our popular deluxe cloth, this advantage is clearly noticeable: earlier flying, tighter turning and more stability, just to name a few.

Reduced pack-size

Because of the Lotus cloth, packing size is again significantly reduced, so your kite luggage will become even more compact.

Optimized sizing

The Speed4 Lotus sizing is divided in constant 3m² steps, which makes building your kite quiver even easier.

High performance flying lines

Thanks to new Dyneema core fibers, we could reduce the diameter of the new high-performance lines significantly, creating less drag, while retaining the same breaking loads of the lines.

Uniform Bar setup

The Speed4 Lotus Infinity 2.0 Control Bar uses the 1m long leader lines of the CRONIX. This allows the control bar to be used on both kites. It is only necessary to ensure that the stopper knot is set to the longest FLS position of the kite which is used.

Optional 5th line safety

By default, the Speed4 Lotus is equipped with a frontline safety (FLS). For fans and supporters of the fifth line safety system, we have developed a FDS upgrade-kit, which can be ordered in our online-shop or at a Flysurfer dealer near you.

Quality of workmanship and durability

The product-life and the value sustainability of our products is very important to us. The Lotus cloth has superb durability values despite its lightness, offering extreme performance even after many kite sessions.

Infinity 2.0 Bar

The Speed4 Lotus package is completed with our proven Infinity 2.0 Control Bar which has been impressing riders since its introduction to the market. Key features include our safe & dependable quick release and super smooth line untwisting function even after endless rotations.

Flysurfer Speed4 Lotus Material

At Flysurfer we have always set high standards on quality and durability. With the Speed4 Lotus we bring this philosophy to the next level. The highlight is use of a completely new type of cloth material with a so-called lotus effect, an industry first in kiteboarding. This material is not only extremely airtight and has excellent water- and stain-resistance, it is so smooth that we can not even print on the kite. The Lotus cloth is a staggering 25 percent lighter than our already very light deluxe cloth! This weight reduction means: the kite is flying even earlier, can be packed-up smaller, is easier than ever before to get out of the water and the cloth remains airtight even after countless hours of flight time – maintaining the same performance as the day you bought it.. For the Speed4 Lotus we are also introducing thinner, low-resistance flying lines. The new lines are even stiffer but much thinner, while retaining the same breaking loads as before. The Speed4 Lotus will use the Frontline Safety as the default safety system, however a 5th line safety (FDS) will be offered as an optional accessory. To round the complete package off, the Speed4 Lotus will be offered with the 6 month Free Repair Warrantee as well!

It has been a long wait for the first official sign that a new Flysurfer Speed 4 Kite is coming and now it is finally here. We are pleased and proud to present to you the next step or rather, jump, in Flysurfer development: the Flysurfer Speed 4 Kite â€“ in sizes 8.0 and 10.0mÂ²! First things first: The 2013 Flysurfer Speed 4 Kite in 8.0 and 10.0mÂ² are unbelievably versatile. Despite the enormous performance potential, the Speed4 is still suitable for beginners in the lower wind ranges but still a true air-time machine in the upper wind range.

The demand for other (bigger) sizes of the Flysurfer Speed 4 Kite is naturally justifiable. Still, it is not so simple to top an extraordinary product like the Speed3. So we still need some time and until then the Speed3 Colored Edition (CE) from 12.0mÂ² upwards remain within the Speed series. However, we are certain that 2013 will be the release year for the additional Flysurfer Speed 4 Kite sizes (12.0/15.0/18.0/21.0mÂ²).

Flysurfer Speed 4 Kite Highlights

Without exaggeration: The Flysurfer Speed 4 Kite is the best performing kite that we have ever built. Whether in low end, turning speed, relaunch, jumping characteristics or depowerâ€¦ Almost everywhere we have been able to set new limits. Yet itâ€™s performance is more accessible than ever â€“ for every rider. It starts when you pull up the Speed4: The kite inflates incredibly fast and provides security from the first moment onwards. Whether fully powered up or fully depowered, a Speed4 stays stable in the sky. And thanks to the balanced handling not only your jumps are much easier, but also their landings.

In the air

There is so much that cannot be put into words, but instead has to be experienced. The 2013 Flysurfer Speed 4 Kites flying feeling is one of those things. More direct and faster turning performance, a glide ratio that you only experience with Speeds, the now extremely short depower throw, the lift, the controlâ€¦We needed six months just for the fine-tuning the Speed4 in order to reach this result: It just feels plain great to fly a Speed4.

Simplicity

Our vision is not only to improve our kites, but to further shape the sport of kiting. What has remained is a simple and effective system. Lowest possible weight, smallest pack dimensions, quickest setup and stow-away and enormous durability â€¦ The 2013 Flysurfer Speed 4 Kite is more effective, lighter and more compact than anything else we have ever built. We were even able to achieve a bridle that is almost one-third lighter and remove an entire bridle row. This not only makes kiting easier, but results in even better performance.

Innovation

The Flysurfer Speed 4 Kite is a completely new development, based on a concept: A defined flex performance of the kite-profile. We achieved this with a new canopy construction and an extremely simplified bridle. Depowered, a reflexed trailing edge is formed with especially low lift and high stability. By pulling the bar down, the profiles bends and an enormous lift increase is created. This technology makes it possible to use a lighter construction with less drag, as well as creating highly effective depower and high stability while simultaneously maintaining short bar travel. The new construction is supplemented by a reinforcement of the leading edge for maximum flight stability in gusting winds and yet again-improved aerodynamics. The result is a kite that not only brings all the advantages of the Speed3 to the next level, but also steps up itâ€™s freestyle performance.

Flysurfer Speed 4 Kite Technical Review

Next to established technologies and features of the past like Little Connection Lines, Automatic Water/Dirt Drainage System, Triple Depower, etc. â€“ we introduce the following technical features.

Rigid Foil Technology by Gin - Reinforcement of the front leading edge profile for increased performance and stability.

Smart Direct Airfoil - New flex-profile from extensive simulations for a shorter and more effective depower and quicker turning.

Minimized bridle - Just three main levels (A,B & Z) and new connection points have created a much simpler line system, which is lighter and has less drag.

Simplified mixer - Just one pulley per side makes for easiest trim tuning for everyone.

Flysurfer Razor New Opportunities

The Razor becomes a machine when going downwind. Even in the lightest winds it gains speed rapidly when you head upwind. The board is designed in a way that you can edge and ride it similar to a twin tip. Tacking and jibing become incredibly easy with the Razor. Due to its high speed, it glides very well even in gusty conditions. From now on you won’t need anyone to give you a lift after a downwinder, since riding upwind is so fast and easy. If you want to go touring, enter some fun races or slalom events, ride lakes or even boost a couple of jumps – the Razor will handle it. The Razor is a very unique board, offering maximum fun and the thrill of speed in a simple and durable package. Ride it fast!

Flysurfer Razor Technical features

The most important feature and the key to the unbelievable performance are the 25cm long fins, which offer the best compromise between user experience, ease of use, and performance. We are extremely proud of the new fin boxes. It is a massive challenge adding fin boxes to a snowboard construction board. The innovative mini-tuttle-box-solution connects the fins with the super thin board (16mm). Another highlight of the Razor is the extremely pressure resistant and light Airex foam core which is laminated with a robust layer. Due to this layer the Razor is extremely durable and easy to transport. The top layer is coated with an anti-slip paint to make switching stances easier and to give you a more secure stance. Unlike conventional race boards the Razor has some flex which gives it a more comfortable ride. The package is rounded off with four footstraps and comfortable angled pads. The Razor is the only board of its kind.

Flysurfer Razor New vigour

Every day is a kite day at Flysurfer and the Razor is here to help with that by making kitesurfing fun even in conditions in which you might not even have thought it possible to ride. The Razor is a performance orientated freeride directional board which is built with super sturdy snowboard technology. You will get more days on the water and super light winds will become fun! We did not want to build a super fragile and bulky sandwich volume board, nor did we want a high performance machine which for most people is un-rideable. We just wanted a board which was really fast, helped us get on the water even more often, and have as much fun as possible despite marginal wind conditions.

Flysurfer Razor Construction

The Flysurfer Razor's innovative construction means the Razor takes up less space in your board bag when travelling than any other race board, and also is a lot more resistant to dents and possible damage. The Flysurfer Razor's extremely tough construction is finished with a robust top sheet, laminated with an anti-slip coating to help your feet maintain grip when adjusting your stance.

We have high standards for quality so only use the best materials in order to guarantee the best results even if that means higher production costs. The Flysurfer Razor's extremely light and reinforced Airex foam core forms the basis of the Razor. The glass fibre laminate gives it the necessary stiffness for a fun riding experience. As always Flysurfer has paid close attention to durability and longevity.

Flysurfer Razor Features

One of the biggest challenges was fitting robust fin boxes into such a thin board. We were successful in integrating the mini-tuttle-boxes which allows us to be the first kiteboarding company to release a board like this. The Razor comes with three 25cm long G-10 fins. This is currently the most robust material for kite fins and offers the best flex to stiffness ratio.

The Razor is delivered with a specially made pad-strap combination. The EVA pads offer a great grip and are raised at an angle allowing you to ride the Razor flat on the water more easily. This also offers good comfort for riding in wavey or choppy conditions as well as allowing you to jump. The straps can be adjusted at either side using a Velcro system and fit a size EU 39 up to 46 easily.

Never has it been so easy to get on the water in light winds. This is due to the way the fins are positioned and shaped, the shape of the deck, tucked under edge and the flex. The Razor is a little harder to ride than the Flydoor however it is a lot easier than most race boards – without sacrificing too much in regards to performance. The main reason it is a lot easier than a race board is that you can ride it on its edge like a normal twin-tip for a few metres to get going. When you get the hang of it you will be hooked on the thrill of speed in light wind conditions and the amazing upwind performance. The Razor shows its real potential in light wind and flat water conditions.

Thanks to our manufacturing process within Europe we can guarantee highest quality and the usage of only the best materials.

The Flysurfer Radical4 Kiteboard lives up to its name. Even sportier than its predecessor, the Flysurfer Radical4 Kiteboard is available on the market in four sizes. The Flyboards-Development team surrounding Andreas Hanrieder and Eddy Lansink did an excellent job, optimizing the Flysurfer Radical4 Kiteboard in practically all regards. The first priority was the switch in production center from Asia to Europe, which led to a higher quality of workmanship. Once this was implemented, a stronger differentiation of the range could be undertaken, whereby each board was tuned individually to riding weight and range of use.

Flysurfer Radical4 Kiteboard New Changes

1. New combination of wood-foam coreAll Radical4s have a hybrid core, aimed at achieving a maximum harmony of board weight, performance and durability. A foam core is implemented on the toe side lengthwise, providing a significant reduction in weight. In size M, the Radical4 weighs 2,3 kg, bringing 20% less to the scale than its predecessor. The new production process also plays a considerable role, whereby a higher pressure is used in the molding press of the resin content with simultaneous increase of glass fiber content, responsible for the flex properties and durability. On the side with more load, the heel side, a robust wood core has been implemented, guaranteeing break stability and the dynamic recovery force of the board.

2.Torsion Fibre LayersThe innovative assembly of a unidirectional woven layer lengthwise and an additional diagonal layer (torsion layer) at a 45-degree-angle achieves considerably more recovery force, which is reflected in the increased jump performance. Still, the flex of the board is tuned so harmoniously that comfort and smooth ride are not negatively influenced.

3.Heelside ChannelThe deep Heelside Channel provides good grip and makes it possible to set the edge more effectively for jumping.

4. Tucked-under EdgeThe „Tucked-Under“ Edge has been cut off at a 45-degree-angle, as surfboards have been traditionally manufactured. This makes the board well-controllable, even in choppy conditions.

5. Grabrail

The additional Grabrails are absolutely soft, but still offer the best control for board-offs or one-footers. Thus, holding the board has become much easier. The Grabrails can easily be glued to the deck.

6. Straps & Pad

The new straps have a simple and quickly-adjustable Lace-System, previously proven with the wakeboard bindings. The enormous adjustment range provides a range of use from shoe size 38 (barefoot) to shoe size 48 (with neoprene boots).

All of our boards have a special high-quality UV- and scratch-resistant coating, and thus offer a long product life. The design is protected under the coating, so that it does not get damaged if the board is slightly scratched.

The asymmetrical rounder and shorter toeside outline increases control when riding toeside and provides increased comfort.

Wider Insert Positions make it easier to land. There are three different stance options possible - Small (50.4 cm), Normal (56.2 cm) and Wide (61.2 cm).

The Flysurfer Kiteboarding R&D team always tries to give kitesports more variety. It was through allowing ourselves the room and opportunity to achieve truly innovative products that we created the first Single-Skin kite. For years, Reinhart Paelinck worked to achieve his dream to build the world’s most versatile kite. Flysurfer had high expectations to improve this unique product even more – and we knew it could be achieved through the combined expert knowledge of our Paragliding and Foil-kite development team. Now, with the PEAK2, Reinhart and Flysurfer have made the next leap forward. The PEAK2 has unmatched low-end, enhanced stability and even more performance – but it still comes in a lighter and smaller package! We’re proud that we were able to further improve this innovative Single-Skin kite product.

Added value

The PEAK2 is your personal lift to the summit of mountains. No pre-inflation or pumping is needed, so it’s always ready to go for a session. Its unmatched low-end power will guide you to new locations, even in the slightest breeze, and thanks to its effective depower, you’ll be safe and in control, even in stronger winds. The PEAK2 will soon become your go-to kite, the kite you want to use every day, so you won’t miss out on that great session, even as a beginner. Because of its small packing size, and its touring bag/harness, you can literally take the PEAK2 anywhere you want. This combination will make it your ultimate toy either on snow, sand, grass or asphalt. It’s your passport to pure freedom.

Safety

When it comes to safety, we do not compromise. The PEAK2 now has incredible stability in light breezes or gusty strong winds, so you always remain in charge, no matter what happens. After activating the Infinity 2.0 quick release on the Infinity Light control bar, the front-line safety (FLS) makes the PEAK2 flag-out downwind with no remaining pull. Whether you need to reverse launch, backstall landings, or simply drop the kite at the edge of the wind window for a short break, the PEAK2 does it all, giving you optimum control in every situation.

Usability

Choose your favourite size from the new PEAK2 line-up – 12.0m, 9.0m, 6.0m or 4.0m. Whichever you opt for, your PEAK2 will be delivered ready-to-fly and complete with your Infinity Light control bar and flying lines. It’s ideally suited for backcountry touring, free-ride snowkiting, kite landboarding or buggying – even unhooked freestyle tricks are possible. When it comes to improving your skills, the PEAK2 also stands out from the crowd, making it the perfect choice for kite schools. And thanks to the easy controllability, it allows for pure fun in your kiting sessions, even for children. Once equipped with our kite and touring bag/harness, all you need to do is hook in the Infinity quick release on your Infinity Light control bar and prepare for launch. Whether you’re on land or snow, only the sky is the limit with the new PEAK2 from Flysurfer!

Flysurfer Peak2 Features

Innovative single-skin depower concept

Compared to its ram-air double-skin cousins in our line-up, the PEAK2 has no bottom sail, resulting in a huge reduction in weight and more performance per square metre. And thanks to the efficiency of the PEAK2’s depower system, the power is controllable. When it comes to low-end and wind range, the PEAK2 definitely sets new standards.

Unmatched low-end

Fun in 3-4 knots? The PEAK2 makes it possible! Even in extreme light winds, the kite provides incredible stability, usability and perfect control.

Minimalistic pack-size

The super-small pack size of only 52x14x14cm (HxLxW) for the 6.0m ready-to-fly PEAK2 means it fits easily in any travel bag, saving you money on additional sports equipment charges. The minimalistic weight of the 6.0m r.t.f (1.94kg) is a huge advantage in comparison to common closed-cell, open-cell or LEI snow kites – which you’ll definitely appreciate while hiking up mountains!

Infinity Light control bar

The new lightweight bar for the PEAK2 is robust with a more comfortable grip, a new adjuster (clamcleat) and the proven 2.0 quick-release system with easy untwisting function, so you can enjoy even better comfort while reaching the top of the world.

No compromise on safety

A proven front-line safety (FLS), the 2.0 quick-release and Infinity Light control bar gives you maximum security about your safety. If activated, the Infinity 2.0 quick release can be reassembled within seconds, so your PEAK2 is ready to fly again.

Quality of workmanship and durability

With the PEAK2 we remain true to the Flysurfer philosophy to make our products durable. As an additional service we also offer the Flysurfer 12-month free repair warranty.

Fast and easy handling

No pre-filling or pumping is necessary, simply unpack the PEAK2 and you’re ready to go in the blink of an eye. It really is the most user-friendly kite in kitesports history!

Touring bag with integrated kite harness

This optional extra is a light trekking backpack with an integrated harness in which you can put conventional hydration packs. The straps on the touring bag attach around your waist and thighs, while the chicken loop attaches via special metal loops. This saves the need to bring a standard bulky and heavy harness along. But this bag is not a harness replacement – it’s designed for maximum weight savings for expeditions and freeriding.

Universal application

Whether it’s on land or snow, with a kite landboard or a buggy, skis or snowboards, for free-ride or teaching purposes, adults or children, beginners or advanced, for urban street kiting or as a travelling companion, the PEAK2 is your ultimate toy for a daily session.

If you seek nirvana riding powered-up in the waves, the Flysurfer FlyWave Kiteboard offers the perfect combination of agility, control, durability and performance. There is no need for jibing on the Flysurfer FlyWave Kiteboard. Powerful landings are no problem, because of its full woodcore. The Flysurfer FlyWave Kiteboard ’Flip Nose’ on both ends eliminates spray and effectively prevents catching water.

Flysurfer FlyWave Kiteboard Features

New footstrap adjustment system, offering an even wider adjustment range

The flysurfer flysplit can be split in half for easy transportation but by using the unique W shaped connection and braces it has the same rigidity as a one piece board. When you assemble the flysurfer flysplit you will notice that it is very light weight particularly for its generous width. One of the primary reasons it is easy to assemble is due to the wood-foam core that gives the flysurfer its strength and rigidity. The flysurfer flysplit also comes with a default “wide stance” which lets you get the greatest amount of stability possible for more control and super comfortable position in all conditions. The Flysurfer Flysplit L is the best way to travel and be able to enjoy light wind conditions. The Flysurfer Flysplit is being used by everyone from beginners to experts. It is sutable for all skill levels even for those trying out kiteboarding for the first time. We are looking at the all-new Flysurfer Flysplit board which is the perfect balance of stylish form and cutting edge function.

Flysurfer FlySplit Highlights

Split System: This system will let you split the board in two and then put it back together when you want to use it. The unique double W shape does not weaken the board at all because it has a huge connection area for maximum rigidity.

Easy to assemble: It simply snaps together with a retainer on each side and central brace so you will be up and riding in no time.

Light weight: The light weight design makes it the best travel board and adds to the high maneuverability of this all round kiteboard.

Wide stance: A wider fully adjustable stance enables the board to conform to your needs while making it easier to balance and pull off tricks for total enjoyment.

Made in Europe: The high quality manufacturing available in Europe means a better crafted kiteboard for a longer life.

Flysurfer FlySplit Color / Size / Rider Profile

The new Flysurfer Flysplit comes in two sizes so you can match your needs perfectly. The flysplit L is not only wider and longer but has an additional full length centre fin for superb upwind performance.

The all new Flysurfer FlySplit combines the opportunity to dissemble the board in the middle with the performance of a normal kiteboard. This is the crucial feature that wins extra space when traveling, whilst maintaining that the kiteboard performs just as well as a Radical or Flydoor. Innovation has always been one of Flysurfer’s highest aspirations when it comes to product development. This self-set aim motivates the development team surrounding Andi Hanrieder every day to create new ideas. One of these truly innovative products is the new boardline, FlySplit.

2014 Flysurfer FlySplit Highlights

Save when traveling -Especially helpful in these times of ever increasing excess baggage fees, charged by airlines on route to your favorite kite destinations, the FlySplit gives you the opportunity to dissemble your kiteboard easily and quickly so that it fits into your travel-bag. This innovation ensures that you won’t ever have to wait the extra minutes -or hours- at the beginning and end of your journey with check in and collection of your sporting luggage. The benefits are not exclusive to air-travel, when reaching your kite spot in a smaller car, or even in a sports car, the FlySplit offers you great flexibility. You might also take the chance to give your friend a lift to the spot, something which would otherwise be near impossible.

Precise manufacture of a high quality construction - To meet the high demands on this product, we’ve invested three years of intense testing and developing the FlySplit to create a kiteboard which is more than just a separable kiteboard. Thanks to our manufacturing in Europe we can guarantee that the FlySplits are produced with the best resources. By using only the best material, we achieve riding characteristics which combine both comfort and high performance. The splitting construction is impressively simple. The zigzag construction joins easily together and needs only to be fixed with a metal splint on both sides. In the centre and the edges of the board we use a full-wood-core to ensure great durability and dynamic performance. For the less stressed areas like the tips we use a light-foam-construction to save unnecessary weight. Due to this construction the FlySplits offers great performance but also a great deal of comfort in choppy and gusty conditions.

One system – two sizes - The FlySplit M in size 134cm x 41cm is made for those riders who love the high performance of the Radical. With the FlySplit M you do not have to miss out on neither an extreme pop for hooked or unhooked jumps nor fantastic up-wind performance. The FlySplit L is available in 160cm x 44cm. Heavier riders and kiters who do not want to miss out in light winds will love this board. The FlySplit L has a centre fin on the heel-side to increase the maximum up-wind performance. The innovative FlySplit M and FlySplit L have very low board weights, coming in at 2.55 kilograms and 3.15 kilograms respectively. This makes traveling even more fun.

Summary - The FlySplits are great allrounders, which should not be left out on any travel, whether with plane, sports car or motorcycle. Due to the fantastic opportunity of splitting the boards in half, the FlySplits are a proper alternative to normal boards on the kitesurfing market. Thanks to a three year development phase, we can guarantee that the FlySplits perform like excellent kiteboards, but are still seperable. Thus there is no compromise on quality and performance.

2014 Flysurfer FlySplit Features

The Split-System makes the FlySplits to the first separable kiteboards that do not compromise in performance.

It only takes a few seconds to easily and quickly assemble a FlySplit. Through the zigzag construction both board parts join and are fixed by two metal splints. From the car onto the water in only a in a twinkling

No more checking in sports luggage and paying extra fees when you travel. The FlySplit M fits in your normal travel bag (common bag size: 75x52x31cm). For the FlySplit „L“ please compare the pack size of the board with the internal dimensions of your suit case prior to your flight.

With their low weight of 2.55kg and 3.15kg for the FlySplit M and FlySplit L respectively, the FlySplits belong to the lightest kiteboards on the market. No extra luggage and better riding characteristics guaranteed.

All FlySplits have a hybrid core, aimed at achieving a maximum harmony of board weight, performance and durability. A foam core comes into use on the toe side in the longitudinal direction, providing a significant reduction in weight. On the side with more load, the heel side, a robust wood core is used, guaranteeing breaking stability and the dynamic recovery force of the board.

The innovative assembly of a unidirectional woven layer lengthwise and an additional woven layer (torsion layer) at a 45-degree-angle achieves considerably higher torsion stiffness, which is reflected in increased jumping performance with nevertheless good comfort.

All of our boards have a special high-quality UV and scratch-resistant coating, and thus offer a long product life. The graphic design is protected under the coating, so that it does not get damaged if the board is slightly scratched.

The „Tucked-Under“ Edge has been cut off at a 45 degree-angle, as surfboards have been manufactured traditionally. This makes the board very controllable, even in choppy conditions and reduces spray.

Wider insert positions make it easier to land. There are three different stance options possible - Small (50.4 cm), Normal (56.2 cm) and Wide (61.2 cm).

The FlySplit L has a 8cm long centre-fin on the heel-side. The centre fin increases the upwind performance especially in lightwind.

The asymmetrical rounder and shorter toe-side outline increases control when riding toe-side and provides increased maneuverability while carving.

Thanks to our manufacturing process within Europe we can guarantee highest quality and the usage of only the best materials.

Over the last ten years, Flysurfer made a name for itself as an innovator for the bridled ram-air kite system (foilkite) and has become a force to be reckoned with – especially in the niche markets. The addition of a leading edge inflatable kite to our product portfolio is probably a surprise to some, but the thought process behind it is rather simple: We want to push boundaries and evolve the best out of all systems! It has been almost two years since we made the decision to develop kites open to any system and newly position our brand. Now we present to you the first result of this decision: The Flysurfer Cronix.

The Cronix – The beginning of a new era

With the Cronix, we are once again breaking new ground. The Adaptive Airfoil System generates a considerable increase in low end power. The trailing edge bridle creates more lift through the curvature of the kite profile when powering up, simultaneously helping relaunch, whether by reverse start or by pulling a steering line. The effectiveness of the trailing edge bridle can be adjusted within seconds on the kite, just like the bar forces – so that every rider has the right kite to match his/her preferences.

Allround Performance – Easy Handling

Fast kiteloops, breathtaking freestyle tricks, hard cut-backs off the lip, sporty flight feeling and an enormous wind range…It is crystal clear: The adjustment features of the Cronix have enabled us to create a true allrounder, however it is not just a trusty companion for every kind of kitesurfing. The Cronix is a pleasantly smooth and uncomplicated kite to fly, with a lot of on-demand potential. Relaunching is easy for novices even in the lightest winds, cruisers will immediately feel at home with the Cronix and wake- & freestylers have the ultimate drug at their disposal with the Cronix. Last but not least – although the kite can hold its own in the waves with purebred wave kites, this does not mean that jumps have to take a back seat – the Cronix is a true allrounder.

Flysurfer Quality

Thanks to our X-GLOO division, we have gained years of experience in building and designing inflatable constructions. We put this experience to good use in the Cronix, likewise the past six months were pure testing and fine-tuning. With Flysurfer, you can be sure that only thoroughly tested materials make it into our end products – from each individual line to each small piece of cloth in the canopy. We have replaced pulleys on the front lines with maintenance-free, durable low-friction-rings. We put a lot of effort into the development of our Free Flow Valve, which means that pumping now requires much less effort than ever before – and we were even able to successfully optimize the pump!
